m. The Lord led me to this
work. He gave me faith for it. He sustained my faith for it to the end.
He provided the means. He remarkably helped me through one difficulty
after the other. Had He not upheld me in the midst of them all, I should
have been surely overwhelmed by them. Therefore, by His help, I will not
sin by taking even in the smallest degree that honour to myself, which
entirely belongs to Him; and let none be sinning, by giving the least
degree of this honour to me, or admiring me, instead of honouring and
admiring the Lord.
3. The New Orphan-House was placed in the hands of eleven trustees,
chosen by me. The deeds were enrolled in Chancery.
4. The New Orphan-House is fitted up for the accommodation of 140 Orphan
Girls above seven years of age, 80 Orphan Boys above seven years, and 80
male and female Orphans from their earliest days, till they are about
seven or eight years of age. The infants, after having passed the age of
seven or eight years, are removed into the different departments for
older boys and girls.
5. The New Orphan-House is open to visitors every Wednesday afternoon;
but the arrangements of the establishment make it needful, that it
should be shown only at that time. No exceptions can be made.--The
first party of visitors is shown through the House at half-past two
o'clock precisely, God permitting the second at three o'clock; and,
should there be need for it, the third and last party at half-past three
o'clock.--As it takes at least one hour and a half to see the whole
establishment, it is requested that visitors will be pleased to make
their arrangements accordingly, before they come, as it would be
inconvenient, should one or the other leave, before the whole party has
seen the House.--From March 1st to Nov. 1st there may be three
parties shown through the House every Wednesday afternoon; but from Nov.
1st to March 1st only two parties can be accommodated, on account of the
shortness of the days.
6. Persons who desire to make application for the admission of Orphans
are requested to write to me and address the letter to my house, No. 21,
Paul Street, Kingsdown, Bristol.
7. Without any one having been personally applied to for anything by me,
the sum of 33,868l. 11s. 1 1/4 d. was given to me for the Orphans, as the
result of prayer to God, from the commencement of the work up to May 26,
1850.--It may be also interesting to the reader to know that the
total amount, which was gi
